Hunter Ranger [mod 9] PVE Build

Hi my name is Jamezbonz. And i am going to post my hunter ranger trapper pve build. I am new to this so please bare with me.

Character Creation.

[Dragonborn] I personally choose this race for the reason is you get a extra +3 power and +3 critical strike increase. and you get to freely chose where you put your ability points

[Drow] if you do not have the dragonborn race unlocked i highly recommend this race over the wood elf and the menzoberranzan renegade. this is simply because the darkfire perk is a lot better then the 1% crit chance or fearie fire. the drow race will also allow you to put 2 ability points into dexterity and wisdom, which is what we will be going for.

Ability’s

this one is pretty easy. in order to max your damage you want 18 points on both, Dexterity and Wisdom (this includes the ability points granted by your chosen class. Make sure you put them on Dexterity and wisdom!) you will end up with 12 STR, 10 CON, 18 DEX, 10 INT, 18 WIS, and 10 CHA. When leveling up always put your points into DEX and WIS

Enchantments

Offense slots: Azure enchantments (Brutal enchantments but i only suggest this if you have rank 12’s and go all across the board)

Defense slot: Dark enchantments

Utility slot: Fey blessing, Dragon’s hoard enchantments (i suggest 3 fey – 2 dragon’s)

Armor enchantment slot: Negation enchantment

Weapon enchantment slot: Dread enchantment

Gear

Weapons: Twisted artifact weapon set

Rings: Ring of rising power, and Ring of rising precision

Shirt & Pants: Gemmed exquisite elemental SHIRT & PANTS

Armor: If you have access to Dragon flight gear.

1. Dragon flight assault coat
2. Dragon flight raid hood
3. Dragon flight raid bracers- or assault depending on your Armor pent
4. Dragon flight raid gaiters

if you do not have access to the DF gear you can go with dusk armor variant of whats listed above also the drowcraft as long as you have your black ice shaping lvl 5 and can infuse it to the assault or raid variants. due to the fact the dusk arms are not available atm the drowcraft bracers non infused are the same stats.

Neck and Waist: at the moment i am on the fence on this i am using the Lostmauth’s hoard set due to the fact you get +2 STR and +2 DEX also it gives power, crit, armor pent. but i am looking into the Demon lords’ immortality set and if i go to that i will update the build.

Artifacts

1. Lantern of revelation (main)
2. Lostmauth’s horn of blasting
3. Sigil of the controller
4. Thayan book of the dead

Companions

there are a lot of choices on comps ion stones are helpful as you are leveling to rank 12’s but i will list the companions i use

Erinyes of belial (more crit severity)

Dancing blade (more crit severity)

owl bear cub

Air or Fire arcon both have advantages and disadvantages

Mercenary

and a secret little guy Bear cub at epic state he gives you the same buff as a transcendent life drinker

that wraps things up i do not know how to post photos at this time but as soon as i learn i will. If you have any questions you can message me and i will get back to you asap thank’s
